I don't see any mention of DSD on this web page.
It looks to me that this is an excellent DAC, and is similar to or a
re-branded 'Memory Player', but it does not do pure DSD.
It deals with very high resolution (32/384) PCM converted from DSD or
direct DXD sources.
DXD is PCM not DSD.
The webpages don't explain to me how it deals with DSD playback
without converting to PCM.
